A glimmer of light will illuminate a path just enough for you to see a chance begin to form.

Life will show you exactly what it needs to, when it needs to. Follow the reasoning of a million foot steps or learn to create your own.

People, Places, and Things holds so true to consecutive days of repetitive actions and the need to fit in. It was a very strange thing when I realized that this can actually be looked at through a different lens with a completely different outcome. I had hung out throughout my struggles with and around people that I saw as friends. There was a façade of fun times and happy moments to be followed every time by disrespectful feelings toward self and worthlessness within living. We gravitate toward people that feel as if they are going through the same things both good and bad, because it is easier to relate to them on all levels. I tell this to people all the time and I will say it for as long as I am living.

Although every single event in our lives sculpts what we become. We are not allowed to point fingers at someone for making our decision for us. No one was putting me through the worst of my moments, because no one was making my decisions when I was dealing with my problems. I WAS. The chances are that most people blame others for how they live or the outcome of their life. People can do nasty things in this world, you can have a terrifying moment, or horrible loss. Our actions do not need to reflect these events, but instead be a reason for you to not allow them to control you. I have had people and situations in my life happen that made me never want to be anything close to like them and I ended up resembling in many ways. Instead of seeing these people as a reason to not be ok, I looked at an opportunity to be sure that I learned what i don’t want to become. I am responsible for every action that I make and every result that comes from them. This is how I learned to love myself no matter what people around me had going on.

I would recommend for you to think about the things that have happened through your life and attempt to take gargantuan strides forward based off of the thought of pride while getting through, instead of “why me”? These thoughts are crucial to allowing the illumination of a path untraveled that only you have a compass to begin and finish. Follow your heart and let the glimmer represent a beam of hope.

How will you be sure to see things with a reason to go and get them by pursing them with passion?
